On January 5th, Beijing time, the Rockets were defeated in today’s battle by the king who was previously the last one in the Western Conference. This defeat was unacceptable for the Rockets. They fell out of the top 8 in the Western Conference. All the way down to 10th place.
It can be said that the Rockets lost the whole game very thoroughly. Their closest moment to reversal was only when they caught up to 85 points in the fourth quarter, but they were quickly overwhelmed by their opponents. The Lone Ranger led the Rockets by 18 points at most, and the Rockets only led by two points at most. Therefore, this is a crush of strength. After the game, Rockets coach Silas suspected that the target was directly aimed at in an interview. James Harden.
After the game, the Rockets coach severely criticized the team for making a mistake, that is, there were too many singles in this game, but the problem is that the Rockets played the most singles in the game. It was James Harden, but Harden’s efficiency was not high enough. That's it. In the interview, coach Silas pointed out intriguingly that the Rockets made serious mistakes in the loss of this game: "I am very disappointed with our team's offense. We should have moved more, shifted the ball more, and played. More passes, but all on the court stopped and everyone started playing singles again. We didn’t work hard enough offensively, nor did we put enough pressure on the Mavericks’ defense. I want to see more on this team. Movement, more movement, but I didn’t see it.” Z1z
Silas criticized the team for not moving at all, the offense stopped, and the ball stopped passing. They were all singles, but the most singles in this game. Isn't it Harden? Harden only scored 5 goals in 17 crazy shots. Wood was over 50% efficient in 8 of 15 starts. Wall only scored 4 goals in 10 shots. There was no offensive opportunity at all. The
substitute Gordon made 5 of 12 shots and his efficiency was not too low. As a result, Harden’s 5 of 17 shots and 3 of 11 three-pointers were the strongest on the team. Although he sent 10 assists, he was on the court. When the team lost 24 points. Moreover, Harden and Wall, which are visible to the naked eye, are indeed incompatible. As long as he doesn’t have the ball in his hand, he will not run. In order to often stand in place to watch the ball, this is not the first time Harden has this situation. Old problems.
If Harden hadn't moved or attacked in the last quarter, he would be invisible, then there would be no situation where the Rockets lost 13 points in the last 8 minutes. They all saw a comeback. . The one who moved the least in this game was Harden, who often stood still watching his teammates play Harden, so Harden should be responsible for this failure. Z1z
Silas’ interview also seems to be aimed at the boss of the team. And this head coach also brought even worse news. Now he doesn’t know when House will be able to return to the team. The impact of House’s injury on the Rockets in this game is already clear. This is the Rockets’ starting. Nuwaba performed very badly. He missed 2 of 6 free throws. He only had 5 points and 3 fouls. If there is House, he might play better.
This is not good news, and Harden’s statement is that he thinks the team does not have enough training. He will watch the video later and work hard to make the whole team better, but he believes they will Rebounded. The Rockets must rebound, otherwise if the loss to the Lone Ranger does not reflect the seriousness of the problem, then less than a week later, they will fight the Los Angeles Lakers, and the scene will be more serious.
